Nord Wave User Manual v1.1
Date
Indicates the date and time when the Sample Instrument
was saved after its latest edit.
Footer
the Nord Wave tab has some file management functions in
the footer area.
Delete file
If a Sample Instrument is selected in the list and you click
on delete, it will be deleted from the Flash memory with-
out any confirmation request. the space that the deleted
SI occupied is not immediately available to other SI:s,
even though it is gone from the list and its location is free.
the Flash memory needs to be cleaned to get rid of any
deleted samples in order to free up the space.
Clean Deleted Space
this function will clean up the space where any deleted
SI:s where. If nothing has been deleted, this button will be
blanked out. deleted space that hasn’t been cleaned yet
will be indicated with yellow color in the Memory Indicator.
Format
this is a radical function; it will format the entire Flash
memory, meaning that all data will be lost. You will be
asked to confirm your intentions.
Memory Indicator
this will give you a numerical and a visual indication of
how the Flash memory space is being used. red indicates
the spaced used by the samples, yellow is space from
deleted samples, but not yet available since it hasn’t been
cleaned and green is the space that free to use for new
Sample Instruments.
Program lists
When Programs is selected in the Nord Wave tab drop
down, the window will be divided in two identical lists.
there are two lists, simply to make it easy to move pro-
grams from one location to another.
You can make the lists show separate banks. rearrang-
ing programs is simply a matter of drag and drop. drag a
program from one bank/list to another bank/list in either
direction.
dragging will always move the source Program, it is not
copied. the source location will be changed, depending on
the destination. If you drop one Program on another Pro-
gram, the two will trade locations. If you drop one Program
to an empty location, the source location will be empty
and the destination will be occupied by the former source.
Right-click
If you right-click on a Program in the list, you will get the
following two options:
Delete – this will delete the Program from the Nord Wave
Program memory. the space that the deleted Program
occupied is not immediately available to other Programs,
even though it is gone from the list and its location is free.
the Program memory needs to be cleaned to get rid of any
deleted Programs in order to free up the space.
Upload to backup folder – this will upload the Program
to the computer hard drive. It will be saved as a .nwp file,
in a folder structure in a folder structure in the designated
back up folder. If this has not been set; in the same folder
where the Nord Wave Manager is located. Just as any
other computer file on your hard drive, this .nwp may be
renamed, emailed, copied, moved, lost or even stored in a
safe location.
Expanded View
When this option is checked, the list will show all the
available locations in the Program memory. this will for
instance make it easier to drag an .nwp file to a specific
location in the middle of the list. If this is unchecked, only
the occupied locations will be shown.
Position

grams in each bank.
Name

Wave.
the name will be shown in the Nord Wave LCd, when it is

Program name. Change the file name, and the Program
name is also changed when that file is downloaded to the
Nord Wave.
